That blue tanks looks fancy! What was the final capacity?

The final capacity is 4 gallons on the nose, no issues at least for me with the weight of the extra gas, stock petcocks are not positioned well in the tank, but Rick had some after market ones that looked trick and were a better fit, the only other thing is that if you have the kick starter that is straight you will need to get the one with the slight bend in it off a later model bike or cut approximately 1/2 inch off yours to get it to tuck in under the tank. All in all I'm very impressed with the fit and finish. Hey Sethro nice to be the first ones home eh ?

I visited the guys in Moab for the day and purchased a tank. I looked at the one mounted on Boss' Husaberg and it's a quality item. The fit is great and it doesn't feel that much wider than stock. You'll like it...

Clear looks the best, IMO. BOSS had a clear one on his bike in Moab. On one ride, he donated several empty gatorade bottles full of gas to more than one rider who had managed to run out. Taffy was one of the recipients.
Our stock tanks were going 65-70 miles, maybe a bit more or less depending on jetting. Double that for the big tank and you have some serious range.

are the tanks very transperant?
can ya see where the fuel level is or are they like the yammy tanks where ya cant see a thing.
is it possible to put a clear stripe vertically in the front somewhere so you can see how much fuel is left (like they do on oil bottles)

I glad the tanks are working out for you guys as it was the hardest tank for Clarke to make..., EVER. This is why you didn't get them back in December. Also, when the tanks were designed, the only bikes available for fit up purposes were 06- 07's which would explain the kickstarter and petcock differences. BTW, if you want an alloy cap, it's the same thread size as the CRF450 Hondas.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy a tank from Rick as I can tell you firsthand that his a great person and he would only change $240 only if that was his understanding of what the list price truly was. You also know that he will back up the sale with customer support that mail order could never provide. Money well spent in my book!
